Yep, the wife's car...any ideas?



Thought I might try Eimann Hi Intensity...



Also, what's the best stuff for carpet stains in terms of cleaning power, nice smell, non-damaging?



Next time we buy leather only.
 
it will address a petroleum stain only.



You need a product that will address a protein stain - something like OxyClean . The stuff is amazing and worth having around the house!



Good luck!



:cool:
 
For the carpet stains try the Water/Woolite solution and a course clean white terry towel ..



Spritz the stain till really damp then aggitate with the towel .. I have had good luck transfering dirt/coffee/ shoe scuffs/ fruit juice stains to the towel.
 
The best thing I have found for fabric and carpet stains is Spray Nine mixed 50-50 with water. An old-time auto upholstery guy gave me the tip. And boy does it work.



Spray on...agitate gently with towel and towel dry. We got some ugly stains out of my Dad's 1990 LS400 cloth seats (when's the last time you saw a Lexus with cloth seats? Very rare, and he won't part with it.). You have to understand that my Dad uses a car like an appliance and only when it smells bad or is really ugly do any appearance things get done. FWIW, the car now has 240,000 miles.
 
Thanks everyone.



Holly, I did not think about OxyClean...I've had great luck with that in the laundry and on carpet in the house. I will try that. Sometimes the obvious things get buried mentally as I think about auto brands. :)

Once the stain has been lifted you might want to consider a fabric protector (you never know when kids (big and small) will spill stuff like ice cream, coffee etc.303 High Tech Fabric Guard

There's also been lots of mentions here about Folex. Its available at Target in 32oz spray bottle for $5.99-6.99. Its very simple to use, a few sprays, agitate with fingers, then blot with a towel. Its worked great for me. Here's their website with more info. http://www.folexcompany.com/
 
Rubbermaid (yes, Rubbermaid) makes a great carpet cleaner that meets all your requirements.



I get it at Wal-Mart.
